Town Launch New Fans' Panel - Ipswich Town News

Town are to set up a new panel of fans which will meet throughout the year aimed at improving their engagement with supporters.

The club want a diverse section of fans involved in the panel, which they envisage working as an alternative voice to the Supporters Club, which will continue its regular meetings throughout the season.

"The club remains committed to improving the engagement levels with supporters,” assistant media manager Jonny Ogle told the club site.

"We have a close working relationship with the Supporters Club and that will continue but there are a lot of fans out there who have a voice and we want to hear from them as well.

"While there has to remain a level of structure to the meetings - we can’t be discussing on-field matters for example - most other topics can be looked at.

"As a starting point, what would you like to see included or improved at Portman Road that might add to the matchday experience?

"We can directly address questions from Town fans during the meetings and have the minutes fed back to all supporters that wish to view the notes.

"""We want the panel to be a real cross section of supporters - including some younger fans - who are keen to engage directly with the club. We want it to be a real ‘voice of the fans’ opportunity.”

""The meetings will be hosted by Ogle with the first set to take place in the home dressing room ahead of the start of the new season, while other members of staff will also be invited to attend over the course of the season.

If you’re interested in getting involved, email jonathon.ogle@itfc.co.uk briefly outlining why you would like to join the panel.
